Ebuild Phases
Ebuild execution is divided into a series of phases. In order
to implement a phase, an ebuild defines a function to serve as
an entry point for execution of that phase.
This design is similar to the template method pattern that
is commonly used in object oriented programming languages. An ebuild
can inherit or override a template method from an eclass.
The function names for the ebuild phases, listed in order of execution:
pkg_setup
src_unpack
src_compile
src_test
src_install
pkg_preinst
pkg_postinst
pkg_prerm
pkg_postrm
